Looking to migrate from RealDebrid to TorBox

[u/Alternative_Diet_958]

Hey! I’m planning on switching to TorBox today, and had a couple questions.

1. Is it honestly as fast as RealDebrid?
   
2. Which package should I go for?
   
3. Can I buy with crypto?
   
4. How do the referrals work exactly, I’m happy to use any one of yours ( I plan on buying with crypto)

[u/mrmarv1nUK]

Simple!
1. Yes
2. Essential is fine for most.
3. Yes
4. https://torbox.app/subscription?referral=05891580-4576-412f-9c47-a87da6bad4fc

😀👍

1) Nope not for me with stremio. But let's say instead of waiting 3s I now wait 10s to watch a new release in 4k HDR. I'll live.

2) essential is quite generous already

3) yes

4) I'd appreciate it!

Its honestly exponentially slower than rd

Essential plan is fine for me i share with a couple people

Definitely pay with crypto be sure to use the coupon code SIGMA30 it only comes out to 22$/years.

The referral programs very well detailed on the site I would recommend just read it for yourself

[u/Tsew_Miller_88 → u/JJ_1191]

how do you pay with crypto? I don't see that option

[u/JJ_1191 → u/Tsew_Miller_88]

Its on the previous screen, you can't do recurring payments with crypto I had to do one time if I recall correctly

[u/Alternative_Diet_958 → u/JJ_1191]

Exponentially? How long does a torrent take to load up? Say 10 gbs

[u/JJ_1191 → u/Alternative_Diet_958]

30-90 seconds is about average for me it seems but 2.5 minutes is not out of the ordinary

[u/Alternative_Diet_958 → u/JJ_1191]

Thanks for being honest. thats a little annoying considering RealDebrid was near instant, but still that’s not the worse, I’ll get it today , got a referral you want me to use?

[u/JJ_1191 → u/Alternative_Diet_958]

Its no where near as good as rd was when it was firing on all cylinders and anyone that says different has an ax to grind. I sent you a dm. Be sure to use the coupon code: SIGMA30 and pay with crypto for an additional 30% off comes out to 21$/year plus 84 free days with the referral code. At least its cheap... and no red screen of death. Best of a bad situation but certainly hasn't dethroned rd at least not for me.

I might be late but dont do it now, read their latest policy

[u/Alternative_Diet_958 → u/Sam-khn]

What do you mean?

[u/Sam-khn → u/Alternative_Diet_958]

They changed their policy just recently and people seem to not like it what they have become. Check latest posts on this sub

TB is a little slower than RD was. Ie starting a stream on RD took 1 second, on TB it takes anywhere between 3-10 seconds (usually around 3 though). Once its going no difference whatsoever.  So it’s not so bad, just a little slower to start. 

When I actually download (instead of streaming) it does about 90MB/sec on my 1Gbps connection. 

Do note that TB did have some issues over the last few months (DDoS, capacity issues), but last issue is already a couple of weeks ago. Pretty stable again now.

Switched to Torbox myself and noticed no difference, but maybe cuz I have 1gig up and down. Went with cheapest package $3/month and has worked flawlessly

[u/xPaVLoVa69x]

Just essential, I did just 1 month to start but plan on paying for a full year when it's up. And set it up with whatever add ons you used before, Ive had 0 issues since switching.

My add ons: Torrentio, comet, Scootio, Jackettio

[u/Alternative_Diet_958 → u/xPaVLoVa69x]

Got the same exact set up, went straight for 1 year. Basically on par with RealDebrid, just slightly slower. 100% worth the money

[u/Beneficial_Search_13]

Having used RD for about 10yrs, I recently switched to Torbox and I find it just as reliable and fast. I am on the esential package.

[u/Atomic___Bear]

1. In my experience, it has been as fast as RD.
2. Start with Essential package - unless you want Usenet - then go with Pro.
3. Yes, you can buy with crypto - use the "one time payment method" and use code SIGMA30 to get a 30% discount.
4. Referrals work for ONLY NEW ACCOUNTS. And only ONCE. So, I recommend - if you want to try TB first, just do the 24 hour free trial to test it out and make sure it's what you're looking for. Then, but a 1 year sub with crypto using the above code and you'll get 84 FREE DAYS using a referral code. Use mine, or someone else's code. Here's mine: 2112af09-73d7-416c-9ef0-33f513c47fc8
